Toronto Off The Beaten Path Tips by windsorgirl

Hiking and Waterfalls only 57kms from T.0.! Outside Greater Toronto area Review

If you are like me and would enjoy a day of hiking and nature as a change from the big city, then head southwest to the small town of Dundas. Here you will find a great Conservation Area with access to two beautiful waterfalls and a hike along the Niagara Escarpment to a wonderful viewpoint. Pack the kids, the dogs and a picnic and make an entire day of it.

See my Hamilton pages for all the details.

The Beautiful Bruce Peninsula Outside Greater Toronto area Review

A great escape only 300kms from Toronto is to the Bruce Peninsula. Here you will find the dramatic white cliffs of the Niagara Escarpment plunging 40m to the crystal clear waters of Georgian Bay.

The famous Bruce Trail which begins in Niagara Falls and continues for 782 kms, ending in Tobermory, can be hiked (in smaller portions!!) here on the Bruce Peninsula.

See my Tobermory pages for more info.

Marvelous Muskoka Outside Greater Toronto area Review

If you find yourself in Toronto on a summer weekend and can't find any Torontonians, it's probably because they've all headed north to the cottage.

The Muskoka Lakes Region, only 200kms north of Toronto is considered "cottage country". Here, you will find crystal clear lakes, lush pine forests, rocky outcroppings and charming country towns.

You can see more views and info about Muskoka on my Parry Sound pages.

Check out the Graffiti Sculptures / Street Art Review

Some call it vandalism, I call it art. There are some stunning examples of graffiti located at the Keele subway station.

You can check out more of my graffiti photos in a travelogue.
